In Response to Re: republican women.. : I didn't realize it was confirmed 100% that Palin had any plastic surgery. What has she had done? Do you have links confirming this? I'm curious as to what she's had donePosted by hawkeye01

the 5(+) kids part, yes.

But plastic surgery, not sure, but was referring to female pols and the ex-beauty queen contingent generally...

...but it wouldn't surprise me if Palin's newfound wealth paid for a little 'touch-up', as it were. Nothing wrong with it...just doesn't do anything for me personally....

The Washington Post blog, The Plumb Line, reports today that a new leadership post for House freshmen is being created, and South Dakota’s new congresswoman Kristi Noem has expressed a strong interest.

More evidence of attractive Republican women...Moreover, she defeated a rarity among Democrats, an attractive Democratic Congresswoman, Stephanie Herseth Sandlin. She’s already served as Assistant Majority Leader in the South Dakota House of Representatives, so she has a lot of leadership potential to move fast ...

Why are republican women better looking then the democrat women on the whole. I thought about this watching Nikki Haley, but the list of Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann looking good at 55ish. Christine O'Donnell who ran but didnt win. But I cant really think of any Dem. women in office that would go so far as to call good looking. Its a strange phenomenon. The best looking women Dem I can think of is Mary Landrieu and John Edwards... there must be more. Yes I know this is sexist.Posted by shumirules

Maybe conservatives are more likely to vote for people on the basis of perceived attractiveness. Doesn't say much for the cons...
